Live 8 hits final high note

NEARLY 60,000 music fans gathered last night for the final star-studded Live 8 concert — with a call for world leaders gathering at the G8 summit to make poverty history.

The gig at Murrayfield in Edinburgh began at 7pm with a performance by Scottish heroes The Proclaimers.

The event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure and is the climax of their Long Walk To Justice on the Scottish capital.
